Low Carb Biscotti: Caramel Chocolate Chip

This is an easy low carb biscotti recipe with pecans, chocolate chips, and a buttery caramel flavor. These come out right even if you’ve never tried to make biscotti before. These crumbly cookies are perfect for a filling snack with a cup of coffee. Personally, I like them for breakfast!

I love my biscotti recipe. It’s no too sweet and seems like it lasts forever. I decided to see if I could make it low carb so I’d have a little something to nibble on with my afternoon coffee.

Omigosh, do any of y’all crash hard about 2 pm? I don’t know if it’s my schedule (I get up at 4:30 am and go to the gym) or my body chemistry but dang! Sometimes I’ll be sitting here on the computer and just nod off. Next thing I know the computer screen if filled with gibberish – a cacophony of letters and symbols where I’ve hit keys in my sleep. And yes, I know cacophony refers to sound but in this case the word described the situation perfectly.

I’m just happy that I don’t publish the stuff in my sleep!

I was skeptical that good biscotti could be made low carb. There’s so much more than just the flavor to consider. I’ll admit that I am not 100% happy with the texture of these – they just didn’t get crunchy enough for my tastes. I’m going to continue to fool with them and see if I can get them crunchier. I’ll update the recipe at that point but in the meantime these low carb biscotti are yummy with just a touch of chocolate and caramel flavor.

You can dip these low carb biscotti in your espresso without any problem – believe me I tested it several times. They do absorb moisture from the air so keep them tightly covered.

I love using Torani sugar free syrups to sweeten and flavor my low carb recipes. This is a great deal for the 3 flavors I used most. The flavors are strong and always stay true after they’re baked. Xanthan gum helps give baked goods a better texture when there’s no gluten. It makes ice creams creamier, thickens sauces… there’s lots of ways to use it so it probably won’t be just sitting in your pantry. It lasts forever, too.
